If you know me, you may know that I love romance and especially second chance romance stories.

What a great story. I loved so much the setting that I feel like it’s a must on my to see list if I ever get to visit the country.

Everyone is like a big family that come together to help and build each other’s lives through good and bad things. I loved the support and friendship that comes along with this community.

And of course, I loved the romance side of the story. It has heart and emotions, chemistry and great dialogue.

I haven’t read any of the author’s previous books but I know now that it’s a must because her writing is great and it really makes you feel like being there with the characters and feeling all the great things they do. From heartbreak to happiness and love.

You know that feeling when you want to read but nothing gets your attention enough? I was in a reading funk and this book got me out of it!
I loved it so much. Perfect chemistry, perfect banter and all that push and pull between Hayes and Tali was so captivating that I had to read it in one sitting!

I’ve read Cake a few years ago and was looking forward to be back in the same world and read more about the family and friends.
Quinn has lived all his life in the shadows of his brother Jake and now is the time for him to prove that he’s more than the eye can meet outside his family name.
Jess is a great heroine, down to earth and with a huge heart for anyone that deserves it.
Their interactions are from hilarious to perfect romance stories and the road to their happily ever after is not without a few bumps in the way but a well deserved experience.

Tara has my heart once again with this story.
The characters, dialogue and all the emotions that were brought up while reading it makes it another must read story for me.
The fake marriage that is actually not so fake, the glamorous life that is not so glamorous behind the scenes, the envy and greediness of some characters (aka her ex) , the sweet friendship and most of all, the love. That love that blooms between Nixie and Nash is beautiful and raw and … steamy. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

This book was fun to read. It has so many laugh out loud moments and some are really great. Just like in the movies mentioned in the description, these two enemies to lovers learn the hard way that there’s much more than the eye can see.
The feelings brought up by their antics will bring them together step by step and that happily ever after is there to take its claim in no time.
It was interesting to see how the author brings the nowadays dating culture and difficulties that young people have to make amends and build trust and a real relationship and friendship.
However, there are many things that I just couldn’t get past in here and hence the lower star rating.

Thanks to the publisher for my review copy.

There’s a reason why James Patterson is named the world’s bestselling author and he proves it more and more with each story that has his name on it.
Private Rogue is no exception from the norm. Everything you may expect is there between the pages of this book. From a n intriguing start to this story to a full fast paced gripping game of hide and seek and even catch me if you can, this novel had me engrossed so much in the action that I barely took a break until I finished reading the last page.
Great writing, captivating story and characters that have more to give than the eye can see.

Very grateful to the publisher for my review copy.
